PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Mojave Rock Ranch owners Gino Dreese and Troy Williams just got back from swimming with the whale sharks off the Yucatan.

The globe-trotting duo, who transformed a 1950s homestead cabin into their 225 acre retreat in the middle of the desert with a helipad, vintage “wild west” jail cell and self-sustaining lily pond, has put their Joshua Tree home on the market so they can continue to tour the world.

The asking price is $4.5 million.

“We want to travel like crazy. Our goal is to visit every country in the world to learn about plants, animals and different cultures. It is our passion,” Dreese said.

The two are professional landscapers and have left their creative mark on Mojave Rock Ranch, perched on a rocky outcropping and surrounded by thousands of different cacti and other plants that blend seamlessly into the surrounding desert landscape.

The one-bedroom, one-bath home looks rustic in nature, but is outfitted with modern amenities and necessities such as air conditioning, washer and drier and a heated in-ground pool with hot-tub and cabana. There’s also a wine cellar on the property, which abuts pristine state owned land.

A pathway lined by barrel cacti leads guests to the front door which opens up into a window-paneled entry way. There are spectacular vistas from every room.

Built from rocks and recycled colored glass bottles collected over the years from all their travels — the eclectic home is a life-size scrap book and tribute to their sense of adventure. They have a planter made from rocks off the Baja coast and an outdoor bench made of pieces from the sidewalks of Copacabana. Tin cases and rusted boxes – mostly from Holland and Belgium – also frame the door on the meditation patio.

It is truly a wonderland just 10 miles from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance.

Drawn to its imaginative and majestic architecture, the property has been used for photo shoots, film shoots and celebrity getaways. The Beastie Boys were among the home’s temporary occupants in the 1990s.

In November the couple flies to Singapore and then through Malaysia to Borneo, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. After that it’s off to Rwanda to see the gorillas and then Ethiopia and Namibia.

They’ve owned and transformed the ranch for almost 25 years and are finally ready to part with it.

“We feel like the time is right to sell the ranch. Joshua Tree is super popular at the moment,” said Dreese.
